Episode 29: Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist

When Isabella Stewart Gardner passed away in 1924, she left her amazing collection of artwork "for the education and enjoyment of the public forever." However, on an unassuming night in March of 1990, an astonishing number of these precious pieces went missing. Possibly forever. With suspects from previous art thieves to local mobsters, the FBI, along with many others around the world, were left confounded. Who were the culprits, and what happened to the beautiful, irreplaceable masterpieces?Contact information for the Gardner Museum:Anthony Amore Director of Security617-278-511reward@gardnermuseum.orgBecome a "Relative" by subscribing to our Patreon for a bonus episode each month, episode shout-out, and the occasional "relatively dark" surprise!Relatively Dark is creating a True Crime Podcast | PatreonBe sure to follow us on Instagram to see pictures from this episode!https://www.instagram.com/relatively_dark/Join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/group....s/708664017144149Ple send all personal stories, thoughts/theories, and case suggestions to relativelydarkpodcast@gmail.com!Episode Sources:https://www.gardnermuseum.org/....about/thefthttps://w
